Historic buildings don’t come much older. Built in the early 1400s and originally a collection of shops, houses and a brewing inn, its been known by various names – the Lion Tap, the Trotting Horse, but we have adopted one of the oldest, Henry Tudor House.

HTH was already 50 years old when Henry Tudor (aka Henry VII) sought refuge here on his way to the Battle of Bosworth, where his army killed King Richard III ending the Plantagenet dynasty and claiming the throne for the Tudors, in fact he was crowned on the battlefield.
